GEORGE JACOB BUOKEY, OF HANOVER, PENNSYLVANIA.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 568,426, datedSeptember 29, 1896.

Application led January 14,1896. Serial N- 575i430. (No model.)

the flat face bs of the standard,under its shoul- To all whom it mayconcern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE J AcoB BUCKEY, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at I-Ianover, in the county of York and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPlows, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawings.

The objects of my invention are to provide a plow of great strength,having a point of wrought metal extending from in front of the plowshareto and beyond the rear end of the landside and secured directly to thestandard;

, second, to provide a plowshare formed to rest in part upon said pointto brace it, and having the rear portion of its upwardly-extendedcutting edge angularly recessed to straddle the front of the standardand protect it against wear and also protect the front edge of thelandside third, to provide the landside of the standard with arearwardly-extended heel to have the middle portion of the pointproperly secured to said standard. I attain these objects by theconstruction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figurel is a perspective view of a plow constructed in accordance with myinvention, said view being taken from the moldboard side with themoldboard removed but its position shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of the plow, taken from the landside,with the plow beamand handles removed. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the plow-standard,taken from the landside. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the wing-cutteror plowshare,

taken from the landside.

In said drawings, A represents the beam, having its rear end connectedwith one of the handles E; B, the standard, having the upper portionhollow and its top b provided with a perforation to receive a bolt b2,by which it is secured to the beam. To one side of the standard issecured the moldboard O by means of bolts c. One side of the standard isprovided with a horizontal overhanging shoulder b3, against which theupper edge of the moldboard C and the upper edge of the wing-cutter orshare G abut to relieve the fasteningbolts of pressure. The opposite orland side of the standard is also provided with an overhanging shoulderb4 for the upper edge of the landside D to abut against and therebyrelieve the fastening-bolt d of the landside of pressure.

The inner side of the landside rests against der b4, and its bottomrests upon the point H of the plow. The lower edge of the iiat face b5projects laterally over the sole b of the standard to form an abutmentto rest upon the top edge of the point I-I. Saidpoint consists of arectangular bar of wrought iron or steel having upon its top a shoulderh, that abuts against the lower portion g of the front edge of the shareG. From said shoulder h the bar H has its top edge beveled to a pointthat is preferably slightly bent downward to facilitate its engagementwith the ground in the bottom of the furrow. The rear end of the bar His of such length that it extends beyond the rear end of the landside D,and also slightly beyond its outerface, to protect said landside againstwear. The point II is secured to the side of the sole of the standard bymeans of two or three bolts h2, the sole b being rearwardly extended toform a heel 117, projecting a certain length in the rear of the body ofthe standard. The share G has an upwardly-extended stem G2, ofconsiderable length,the front of which constitutes a curved but acuteedge, and in the rear of said edge is a shoulder g2, that straddles thefront edge of the' standard and protects its front and sides, and alsothe front edge of the landside, against wear.

Having now fully described my invention, I claim- 1. In combination withthe moldboard of a plow, the standard B having on one side a shoulder b3resting upon the edge of the moldboard and upon the upper edge of thestem of the plowshare, and a plowshare having in the rear of its acuteedge a shoulder g2 straddling the front of the standard substantially asdescribed.

2. In combination with a plowstandard having a lateral shoulder b4, thelandside D under said shoulder, the point H extended rearwardly of saidlandside and beyond its outer side, and a plowshare having a stem G2extended above the landside, and having a shoulder g rest-ing upon thepointH substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE JACOB BUCKEY.
